About H. L. Leeds
Henry Leeds has been perfecting the art of matching human capital with corporate cultures for more than 30 years, and achieving dramatic increases in performance and profitability.
As founder and president of H.L. Leeds International, Inc., his signature, science-based intellectual and emotional assessments have made him a highly effective and sought-after executive search consultant and business coach. He has an uncommon ability to evaluate an organization and find the best talent to implement change, enhance chemistry and minimize turnover.
Leeds has successfully placed CEOs, CFOs, COOs, vice presidents, and directors of sales and marketing with a Who's Who of Fortune 500, medium and small businesses.
Citigroup, Colgate Palmolive, Entenmann's, JP Morgan, Response Media, Paramount Pictures, Geographics, Interpublic Corporation, Biomatrix, and Viacom are just a few of his clients. When a division of Colgate relocated to Atlanta, he assisted in recruiting 34 key personnel and his recommendations on staffing kept turnover to 22 percent, far below the expected 60 percent.
In his first position after graduating from Brooklyn College and spending two years in the Army, Leeds took over the human resources department of a new division of the Greyhound Corporation and led it to $10 million in sales in the first year.
By the age of 29, he was running his own multi-million dollar executive search firm in New York City. He expanded his business in 1991 and relocated corporate headquarters to Atlanta.
In 1998, Leeds added coaching to his resume to accelerate individual and corporate performance. He is a certified business and career coach and member of several coaching organizations. He also has taught leadership skills and conducted group training for business and community organizations.

Leeds is married and has three children. He is an avid runner and has completed the New York City Marathon and several half-marathons.

 
 
 
 
"My own experience has taught me this: if you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured to act it may never come. Mountains will not be climbed, races will not be won and opportunities to grow and change will be missed."
